Albums you love that are not considered the artist's best.

I’ve always loved Hawks and Doves. And my original has such amazingly good sound...I don’t see buying the NYA of this one when it’s that good.

 

And that Van is one of my faves, too! You need to give this one a spin!

 

I just bought a used copy for 3 bucks, to complete the collection up to Blood and Chocolate. I had low expectations.

Okay, why is this not appreciated? I really like it. I mean, really like it!

John Lennon Mind Games, just really love it especially side 2

Neil Young | Hawks & Doves

It followed Rust Never Sleeps and Live Rust, so it's jarring in its quietness. I like it quite a lot!

 

I'd argue all of these are considered top 5 for many people.

 

I always see "Crime Of The Century" and "Breakfast In America" mentioned. And "Even In The Quietest Moments" sometimes.

As for Genesis, it's always "Foxtrot", "Selling England" and "Lamb Lies Down"; and for Kraftwerk it's always "Autobahn", "Trans Europe Express" and "Computer World".

Hope I'm wrong and it's beginning to change.

 

Oasis - Heathen Chemistry


(Though I don't love that stupid "hidden track" biz. )

 

I’m not a fan of Van Morrison’s voice and vocal style. Hence my favourite Van album, and the only one I own, is Inarticulate Speech of the Heart.

 

Genesis - And Then There Were Three
Bowie - Young Americans & Lodger (These seems to divide opinion on here)
Queen - A Kind Of Magic
Kate Bush - Lionheart & The Red Shoes
The Cure - Bloodflowers
Wings - London Town
The Jam - The Modern World
Blondie - Autoamerican (Although it’s nice to see a few fans on here)

 

The Wild the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle - Bruce Springsteen

Some Girls - The Rolling Stones

 

A lot of people quite like Ralf und Florian, and many would swap Computer World for The Man Machine

Likewise, for Genesis that never has a consensus after posting here...

 

Pygmalion - Slowdive
Television - Television
Signals - Rush
Death Magnetic - Metallica
Vision Thing - The Sisters of Mercy
Laughing Stock - Talk Talk
Lulu - Metallica/Lou Reed
Atom Heart Mother/The Division Bell - Pink Floyd
In Though the Out Door - Led Zeppelin
Renewal/Cause For Conflict/Outcast/Endorama - Kreator
October File - Die Kreuzen
Animal Rights - Moby

 

Maybe the other two, but Ralf & Florian? I'm not so sure...

 

T. Rex - Futuristic Dragon
Echo and the Bunnymen - What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?
The Guess Who - So Long, Bannatyne
Everything But The Girl - The Language of Life
Aztec Camera - Dreamland
Paul Weller - Heavy Soul
Paul McCartney - Press To Play

 

Well, if you take the band's top period, you have five records starting with Autobahn then Computer Welt

I've noticed many who tend to prefer that one over Radioaktivitat in the time that finding it wasn't halfway impossible.

 

I've never heard it. Still waiting for them to issue it on CD properly...I may be waiting a long time. Not that I haven't already!

 

Joe Jackson - "Blaze of Glory"
"Infidels" is my favorite Dylan album.
